Hi, this is moods. I was in the Playground one day with some friends and we were talking about Whyville. Based on what we were talking about, I think that Whyville needs to be more multi-racial. There is only ONE black City Worker... the clothes in Whyville have to be like 80% for whites (and that is being generous).... Okay, you are probably thinking, well, there are only a few blacks in Whyville, but I don't think that means anything. There are no decent clothes for black people; well, there is some, but the white clothes are most of the time better! So almost everybody probably uses white faces, even if they don't want to.

Another thing: I was in the Pool Party one day and this girl called me a Negro (but not exactly that term). Anyway, I 911 reported her because that is just pure racism. After I reported her, I expected a report decision saying she was at least taped, but I got nothing. As far as I know, that girl got away with racism, and that makes me mad. Another encounter I had was with a friend I'll call Pete. I was having a conversation with Pete and all of a sudden this girl started calling me mudface... this REALLY made me mad and I think that Whyville should be more watchful on these things.

But, I am not just talking about white people being racist to black people. It happens the other way around, too. I was sitting in the Pool Party one day with these two other black girls and one white person came over and said, "Blacks united." I was not offended by this, but these two girls were and they started saying all this stuff to the white girl (I won't mention names). I just stayed out of it.

OK, I'm going to end this right now because it is lunchtime -- but racism is EVERYWHERE... and to stop it, it has to start with you. If we can get this website NON-racial... there is hope for the world.

This is moods, signing off.
